Looking for an optimized was to pulsate some lights, without overloading their Hub (Tradfri in this case), ive set up this script now , which I could repeat/while:
script:
pulsate_sterren:
alias: Pulsate sterren
mode: restart
sequence:
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.kerststerren
transition: >
{{states('input_number.transition_time')}}
brightness: 50
- delay: >
{{states('input_number.transition_time')}}
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.kerststerren
transition: >
{{states('input_number.transition_time')}}
brightness: 250
- delay: >
{{states('input_number.transition_time')}}
please see if I am being silly here, and add improvement where possible?
thanks!
ha, this works:
automation:
- alias: Pulsate lights
id: Pulsate lights
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_boolean.pulsate_light
to: 'on'
action:
- repeat:
sequence:
- service: script.pulsate_sterren
until:
condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.pulsate_light
state: 'off'
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.kerststerren
transition: >
{{states('input_number.transition_time')}}
brightness: 150
and Tradfri gateway isnt complaining just yet 
#fingferscrossed for that
and button-card to turn on/off:
but id like the animation to reflect the automation/script, so have a pulsating glow around the card. Could anyone help me out please?

and made the automation a bit more robust:
automation:

trigger:

action:
- repeat:
sequence:

data:
entity_id: light.kerststerren
transition: >
{{states('input_number.transition_time')}}
brightness: 50
- delay: >
{{states('input_number.transition_time')}}
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.kerststerren
transition: >
{{states('input_number.transition_time')}}

- delay: >
{{states('input_number.transition_time')}}
until: >
{{is_state('input_boolean.pulsate_light','off') or
is_state('light.kerststerren','off')}}
- choose:
- conditions:
